Automation of securities lending transactions has proved so successful for general collateral lending that it is increasingly being utilised for higher value 鈥渨arm trades鈥�, according to a panellist at CASLA鈥檚 Conference on 麻豆传媒 Lending last week.
Industry participants are asking their technology providers to let their automatic matching and lending infrastructures do more and more of the heavy lifting of day-to-day trades in order to free up traders鈥� time to focus on more important tasks, such as intrinsic value lending.
According to a buy-side representative, traders are having to spend more time analysing default risk brought on by an increase in buy-ins and fails, than managing regulatory compliance.
The panellist explained that of all the concerns that a trader faces every day, it鈥檚 the ones that cannot be controlled, such as fails or defaults, that are of most concern.
鈥淲e cannot be asleep at the wheel鈥�, warned the panellist.
